I grew up in San Diego. I can't afford to live there anymore and had to move halfway across the country because of those tourists. Comic Con would be the worst. Just fucking shambles. And then all the people who feel like Comic Con is their home leave their "home" covered in fucking garbage and piss soaked streets. And then some of those tourists started to enjoy San Diego so much, that they all started moving there with their trust funds and high paying remote jobs. By the time I left 5 years ago, I'd meet people and they'd almost all ask, "Where are you from?" to which I'd reply, "From here" to which they'd reply, "No, but where are you from originally?".
Yep. Fucking tourists.
Seattle it's standard small talk to ask where someone is from. The almost five years I spent there I only ever met one person who said they were from Seattle
For Seattle, my experience is that most of the people are there for tech work. Those folks could have been working anywhere from "just came to this city" or "have been working for 10+ years".
There's not that many tourists, the few ones that come visit mostly congregate in pike place and around the space needle.
